Hostilities unlikely to resume, Armenian MP says
June 26, 2010 | 14:16
Azerbaijan will continue provocations on the contact line between the
Azerbaijani and Nagorno-Karabakh armed forces, but they will sooner or
later be condemned by the international community, Gagik Melikyan, an
MP of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), told journalists.
According to him, Azerbaijan's provocation on the night of June 19 was
condemned by Moscow and Washington as well. On this other hand, he
pointed out that the international community should not show such
reserved reactions to Azerbaijan's provocations. Rather, international
reactions have a particular `target.' `The international community's
reserved reaction to Azerbaijan's actions only exacerbates the
situation in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone,' he said.
Commenting on the Armenian-Russian-Azerbaijani presidential meeting in
Saint Petersburg, Russia, Melikyan expressed confidence that its
results were in favor of the Armenian side. `The Petersburg proposals
place emphasis on people's right to self-determination and non-use of
force,' he said. The Petersburg proposals hardly provide for the
deployment of Russian troops in Nagorno-Karabakh, and hostilities are
unlikely to resume, as Azerbaijan is well aware it will suffer a
complete defeat. `Even after the last provocation Azerbaijan was
convinced that the Armenian solder is ready to defend him homeland and
people by sacrificing his life,' Melikyan said.
